Hadith 6743

عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ قَالَ: خَطَبَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! أَقِيمُوا عَلَى أَرِقَّائِكُمُ الْحُدُودَ، مَنْ أُحْصِنَ مِنْهُمْ وَمَنْ لَمْ يُحْصَنْ، فَإِنَّ أَمَةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ زَنَتْ فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أُقِيمَ عَلَيْهَا الْحَدَّ فَأَتَيْتُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِنِفَاسٍ فَخَشِيتُ إِنْ أَنَا جَلَدْتُهَا أَنْ تَمُوتَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: ((أَحْسَنْتَ))
It is narrated from Abu Abdur Rahman Salmi, he says: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed and said: O people! Establish the prescribed punishments on your slave women and slaves, whether they are married or unmarried, because a slave woman of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) committed adultery, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered me to establish the prescribed punishment on her. But when I went to her, I found her in such a state that her postnatal bleeding had just started, so I feared that if I flogged her, she might die. So I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of these details. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You did well.
